(2,515 posts)You know, the single parent who worked long hours after having her first kid at 16 to eventually put away enough to buy a house in an area where the kids could have a decent education. This produced two nearly-perfect people who are well-adjusted and live normal lives, and one who spent months as the city's most-wanted fugitive several years back, despite every attempt at fixing him. She's clearly an "abject failure", neglectful, and whatever else some random Internet coward wants to call her, despite the uncountable hours spent providing for her children, trying to figure out where she might have gone wrong with him, and get him diverted into a prison treatment program once he was apprehended. In your world, none of that relates to the decisions her son made for himself at the age of 22. You want to jail her too because it's somehow "clearly" her fault, that she should have consulted the random Internet coward who has a clear course of action that somehow evaded the trained specialists.
Fuck you and the self-righteous, moralizing high horse you rode in on.
